Here's What Jane Banks from "Mary Poppins" Looks Like Today

It was 52 years ago that Mary Poppins introduced movie-goers to Julie Andrew's fun and charismatic nanny with magical powers. Since then, the Disney movie continues to be a beloved classic, watched again and again by scores of people, young and old.

Of course, we all remember Jane Banks, played by eight-year-old actress Karen Dotrice, as one of the lucky children Poppins took under her care—but many of us wouldn't have a clue who she was today if she passed us on the street.

After Mary Poppins, Karen appeared in a string of films, like The Gnome-Mobile (1967) and The Thirty-Nine Steps (1978), as well as on television programs like Upstairs, Downstairs, but eventually she left the business of acting to raise little ones of her own. Karen, now 60, was named a Disney Legend in 2004, a designation that honors people who have contributed to Disney's "rich heritage."

Did Poppins secretly give Jane a spoonful of water from the fountain of youth? Talk about aging gracefully!

On a sad note, if you're wondering what ever happened to Karen's co-star, Matthew Garber, who played little Michael Banks, the child actor passed away at the age of 21, a year after contracting hepatitis during a trip to India in 1976.

"I can't imagine making movies would have been half as much fun without him," Karen has said of her childhood co-star, who was also named a Disney Legend in 2004. "While I was Victorian proper and wouldn't let myself get dirty or muddy, Matthew had a great sense of fun and danger. He was a daredevil and could have been a race car driver. And he did live a full life over his 21 years."
